In the next century, some of our descendants will be living permanently on the Moon and Mars executing almost similar everyday activities as their relations on Earth do. If you are still in doubt of humans living outside the Earth, always remember that space agencies are already putting in the effort to enable our civilization attain such a milestone before the end of this century. Here's how Lunar Gateway will enable space agencies to achieve moon and mars colonization in this century.

Our most recent addition to the deep-sea-animals-you've-never-heard-of collection—a pelagic ribbon worm, Phallonemertes sp.⁠

Nemerteans are neither worms nor fish, although they look a bit like both. They are unique enough to belong in their own phylum. Most nemerteans burrow in sediments or between crevices in rocks, shells, and other seafloor habitats, but some, like this one, live in the open ocean, never touching the seafloor.

Nemerteans range in length from a few millimeters to 30 meters stretched (nearly 100 feet) in length (most species commonly measure about 20 centimeters, just about eight inches, or less).

This is the most clearest picture of Pluto ever taken! It was captured recently by the New Horizons planetary probe using itd Ralph imaging instrument. The surface of the dwarf planet is a cool -400 degrees. From this angle it looks like Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter. The red could be copper, the blue could be copper sulphate or cobalt. We will find out more as we explore this dwarf planet on the farthest side of our Solar System even further over the next decade or so.
